{my week in Instagram pics}

yay — it’s friday! today i’m sharing my week in Instagram pics {also linking up with life rearranged}. if you have an iPhone you can follow along with me, my username is GussySews :] since i always have my phone nearby this is the easiest way to capture all the fun moments, quickly. plus i love adding the Nashville filter to my pictures {this is the only one i use!}.

loving my just lovely headband – it’s super lightweight and the band is just big enough that it doens’t slip off my head after wearing it for an hour or so // our new Winter wreath // Minnesota mornings are chilly! ;] // absolutely obsessed with this cowl necklace from craftee mcgee

last week Bauer received some mail, a super cute red doggy shirt with a DEER screen printed on it {zack is in heaven!} by tiny twist creative.

Bauer went to see his friends at the groomer earlier this week and i can’t get over how cute he looks with his new haircut, complete with a Christmas bandana and all —wink! it kills me how soft + cuddly he is.

finishing up some fun projects, loving the new Martha Stewart paints + stencils {mugs and sugar bowls are from Target} // shadows from a gorgeous morning walk // ahhhhh! there’s just sew much fabric // coffee… delicious! all the whip cream helps me forget i ran out of creamer!

actually, RIGHT NOW we’re in the car driving to michigan to see our families for Christmas + New Years. i’ve got a bag with a few books inside {what women fear + entreleadership} plus 4 skeins of yarn and a little zipped pouch with my notions inside {various crochet hooks + scissors}. i can’t wait to crochet for hours and hours and hours while we travel 400+ miles… what a dream! i taught myself last Friday using this YouTube video, hah!

it’s so crazy to think we’ll be back home in 2012… I LOVE IT!

happy weekending and wishing you a Merry Christmas :]

PS. i found the most awesomest fabrics for our shop re-launch, i can’t wait to show you on january 23rd! xoxoxoxo

Your blog is the best. So much fun! Could you tell me what kind of dog you have? I saw one
at the pound that is similar and wondered if I should grab it up. I can’t have a dog that goes
running out the door every time it is opened. How does your pup behave? What a neat dog!

Bauer is an Australian Cattle Dot + Terrier mix! he’s super playful and does pretty well at listening. we crate trained him from the beginning, so that means he goes in his crate to eat, sleep or “just because” — which also translates to he is pretty well-behaved… he knows we are in charge ;D

he’s about 25 lbs. and won’t get any bigger. if you see a pup of that mix you should definitely adopt one! xoxo

I’ve been dying to dig out my crochet needles and some yarn for some fun crocheting! I really want to make an infinity scarf, maybe over the holidays I can get started. Have fun and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to your little family! ♥♥

Love love love your site!!! You have THE best sense of style…You and I have a love of RUFFLES! I kind of connected with this post as I just re-taught myself how to crochet with that SAME video. Watched repeatedly!!!!! I am making my nieces little cowl scarves for christmas. A little something to help them stay warm in this cold WI weather. I hope you, Zack and Bauer have safe travels!!!!! And Have a very Merry Christmas:)

Aw, Bauer is such a cutie. :) My family got a new puppy {black lab} for Christmas, so now I have major puppy fever…if we were allowed to have pets here, I think hubby & I would totally have a dog already! ;)

I saw this on both facebook and twitter, but just got a chance to comment via InstaFriday!
You rock lady! Have safe and blessed travels and enjoy your family on Christmas!
Bauer is the cutest!
Merry Christmas

Love the wreath up on top. Yellow is so underused. Hope you are enjoying the car ride. I love long car rides too, get lots of reading done. The one time I can talk to my hubby without either of us needing to work and tie my kids down :)

Thanks for sharing that video! I’ve always wanted to learn to crochet and I will always regret not sitting down with my grandma and learning how when I was younger!! Hope y’all had a wonderful Christmas and have a Happy New Year with your fam!! :)

videos are so awesome! i have a hard time learning from reading a tutorial in a book, but with a video it’s super easy because i can see exactly where the crochet hook is going {and i can pause + re-play} —wink!

Awe, so glad Bauer’s vest fit… his haircut is adorable. I have a slight obsession with cowls right now too. I made sure to *steal* and win one at a white elephant we went to last week (actually made the hubby steal it) & then I have another one on my knitting needles. So comfy and cute, whats not to love, right?!
